When is the best time to get the lowest price on a new car? So you've heard that there are "soft spots" in vehicle merchandising, industry secrets about when dealers will absolutely sacrifice profit, pride and practical business sense to move machinery at any price. You've heard these rumors,...

There was a previous post on a fix for by-passing the RPM sensor circuit on the A/C control unit for a Honda Prelude. Does anyone have the instructions for building the circuit along with the associated service bulletin? Thanks.

I just did a motor/tranny swap on my 96 Prelude: I installed a JDM H22, and the original 5-speed tranny that was paired with that engine. After installing the axles, I noticed that they spun freely, even when the tranny was in gear. After bleeding the clutch, I started the engine, put it in gear,...

'98 Accord, the low gas light quit working a while back, so I ordered another bulb (assuming that was the problem). I've got the bulb, but before I take out the instrument panel, is there anything important that I should know? Thanks guys, I always appreciate all of your help. --...

Well, i finally did it. The civic will be gone as of this time tomorrow. I sold it on Ebay for my reserve price of $5495. 52k miles, 5spd, A/C, service manual, owners manuals and all paperwork. A fun lil car that never let me down in the 8 years ive owned it. Hopefully the new owner will appreciate...

Last month I went on vacation for 3 weeks, during this time it rained like heck on my civic. When I returned from vacation, I started my Civic and immediately got a "Charge System" light, and "ABS" light and a "SRS" light. The next day the car wouldn't start. I pulled out the battery and...

We moved to FL last year and the AC gets quite a bit of use, now it appears the drain to the AC is blocked and water is getting into the car on the passenger's side. Does anyone know where the drain tube is and what is the easiest way to clear the blockage. The car is a 96 Accord SE Coupe 4cyl 5sp.

In May, I got a new set of tires of my 97 Accord (170,000 miles). I decided to go with Yokohama Avids since many people on USENET and Tire Rack had great things to say about them on 94-97 accord. After getting them on, I noticed a pull to the left and squirrely handling. Kind of like the car was...

My Honda civic(1993) mileage : 131000. I bought it at 111000 last year.Thus, I've had it for a year now and done 20,000 miles. My car overheated today.I took it to the dealership and paid $120 for finding out the estimate and he said he'll apply it towards the repair.Found out that the thermostat...

Hi All, How do I turn off the check engine light? The car won't pass inspection with it on. I tried disconnecting the battery but nothing happened. I found some check engine code readers/erasers on EBay here http://stores.ebay.com/OneSmartMove Has anyone tried similar one? Thanks,

Hi, I'm new to the group, but my daughter has a Honda now so I'll be lurking. I didn't find anything on this exact problem in a search so: Vehicle is a 1998 Civic DX 5spd. Dead battery prompted a test of the alternator, which wasn't charging at all. Replaced alternator, and externally charged...

I do not have the manual for this model.Is it the usual 10K/yearly -- Thanks, Hank

i know there's a gazillion online articles about dpfi to mpfi injector upgrades for 88-91 civics, and most of these involve pm5 to pm6 ecu swaps. but, looking at the schematics for both the dpfi and mpfi ecu's, they both appear to be identical in pin-out's, with only the injector and...

Hello. I have a 2000 Honda CRV Limited Edition. A few days ago, when I started my car, the SRS (air bag) light stays lit constantly. I checked the SRS fuse in the fuse box and it wasn't a blown fuse. Should I be concerned about this? Do I have to take it to the dealer or would people at the...

Hi, The car drives great with 167,000 miles on it, but I notice that when I shift from "neutral" or "park" into "drive" or "reverse" there is this a pause and then the engine lurches forward hard. When I shift between the various drive gears there is no lurching. Seems to happen all the time, no...

I have a 97 Accord with 160,000 miles on it. Yesterday I replaced the stock radio with a new CD player. It was a fairly easy procedure, with no real problems, and it works fine. Today, when I tried to go to work, the car wouldn't start. It wont turn over at all. I get the clicks when I turn the key...

My civic won't start. I can hear the fuel pump. The engine turns over but it is not firing. It worked find before I replaced the alternator. It even worked without the alternator as long as the battery was charged. Where should I start?

It seems that if you want really good safety features with a Honda, you've got to go out and spend big bucks for a bunch of stuff you may not want or need, and I think this is unfortunate. I've got an '05 Accord LX, which I like, but it seems that the best safety features aren't available unless...
